In Hele-Shaw flows at vanishing surface tension, the boundary of a viscous fluid develops cusp-like singularities. In recent papers [1, 2] we have showed that singularities trigger viscous shocks propagating through the viscous fluid. Here…
We consider the 1-harmonic flow of maps from a bounded domain into a submanifold of a Euclidean space, i.e. the gradient flow of the total variation functional restricted to maps taking values in the manifold. We restrict ourselves to…
We propose a method of construction of exact solutions of free boundary problems corresponding to Hele-Shaw flows in presence of an external field. Such a field may arise, in particular, due to electrokinetic phenomena. Both a general…
We define rigorously a solution to the fourth-order total variation flow equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$. If $n\geq3$, it can be understood as a gradient flow of the total variation energy in $D^{-1}$, the dual space of $D^1_0$, which is the…
In this paper, we continue to study the fractional harmonic gradient flow on $S^{n-1}$ taking values in a general closed manifold $N \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, addressing global existence and uniqueness of solutions of energy class with…

We address surface gradient flows which allow for energy dissipation by evolving the surface and a scalar quantity on it, simultaneously. A proper choice of the time derivative and the gauge of surface independence guarantees energy…
We study the $L^2$-gradient flow of functionals $\mathcal F$ depending on the eigenvalues of Schr\"odinger potentials $V$ for a wide class of differential operators associated to closed, symmetric, and coercive bilinear forms, including the…
Assuming a-priori a smooth generating vector field, we introduce a generally covariant measure of the flow geometry called the referential gradient of the flow. The main result is the explicit relation between the referential gradient and…
This paper provides a formulation of the log-homotopy particle flow from the perspective of variational inference. We show that the transient density used to derive the particle flow follows a time-scaled trajectory of the Fisher-Rao…
Accelerated gradient descent iterations are widely used in optimization. It is known that, in the continuous-time limit, these iterations converge to a second-order differential equation which we refer to as the accelerated gradient flow.…
In this note we extend the main results of [2] and [8], which concern the weak convergence of the $n$-point motions of smooth Harris flows to those of the Arratia flow, to the case when the covariance functions of these Harris flows…
Asymptotic analysis of the Hele-Shaw flow with a small moving obstacle is performed. The method of solution utilises the uniform asymptotic formulas for Green's and Neumann functions recently obtained by V. Maz'ya and A. Movchan.…
In this paper we give a description of the asymptotic behavior, as $\epsilon\to 0$, of the $\epsilon$-gradient flow in the finite dimensional case. Under very general assumptions we prove that it converges to an evolution obtained by…
We adapt the precise definition of the flowing effective action in order to obtain a functional flow equation with simple properties close to physical intuition. The simplified flow equation is invariant under local gauge transformations…
We consider a gradient flow of the total variation in a negative Sobolev space $H^{-s}$ $(0\leq s \leq 1)$ under the periodic boundary condition. If $s=0$, the flow is nothing but the classical total variation flow. If $s=1$, this is the…
This paper considers steady surface waves `riding' a Beltrami flow (a three-dimensional flow with parallel velocity and vorticity fields). It is demonstrated that the hydrodynamic problem can be formulated as two equations for two scalar…
We propose a supersymmetric gradient flow in ${\cal N}=1$ SQCD in four dimensions. The flow equation is derived in the superfield formalism and is also given for component fields of the Wess-Zumino gauge in a gauge covariant manner. We find…
We study a stochastically perturbed mean curvature flow for graphs in $\mathbb{R}^3$ over the two-dimensional unit-cube subject to periodic boundary conditions. In particular, we establish the existence of a weak martingale solution. The…
